Chapter 291

Defense Specialization and Light and Fire

Now, it seems like the others havent been killed yet I guess they must be doing well . And Maple hasnt disappeared from the map at all

Sally stretched her limbs as she saw that there wasnt much time left on the clock . Many players had died now, and encounters were becoming rare . Of course, that meant that it was easier to hunt monsters .

It should be fine as long as I hunt a lot of them This should have been a good opportunity, but I wasnt able to see anyone fighting with strong monsters that they tamed .

This was an event where there were players other than those from Congregation of the Holy Swords and Kingdom of the Flame Emperor that you had to watch out for . Everyone was desperate to survive, and so the rewards would also be different .

Oh, Mi is on the map! And theres not much time left Maybe Ill go and look . I can hunt monsters on the way .

And so Sally dashed in the direction that Mi was in . Any monsters that were in her path were quickly dispatched with a single hand .

Oboro, Binding Barrier! Quintuple Slash!

They couldnt attack her if they couldnt move . In that case, she could use her skills to repeatedly deal powerful attacks . They werent particularly difficult, with only simple attacks and moderate HP . Which meant they were nothing to Sally .

Oomph . Is she over therewoahMi is wreaking havoc as well .

The sight she saw was of Mi burning down both monsters and players . Pillars of fire rose in the wasteland that Mi was standing in, and it was clear to see that a horrible battle had been waged here .

So that must be the Ignis that Maple was talking about . I think that Ill watch them for a while .

Sally used her webs to climb up into a tree so that she wouldnt be ambushed by other players . Up here, she would notice them as soon as they approached her .

Now, will any players or monsters come Hmm?

As Sally squinted up ahead, she saw a familiar man with white armor and a sword . It was Payne .

I knew that I was on everyones map, but I didnt expect you to come .

Mi drank down a potion so that she would be ready to fight .

Yeah, I already hunted enough monsters . And so I came to check the strength of my rival . Ray, Awakening .

As Payne said this, a baby dragon with silver scales appeared from his ring . It was about the size of a large bird and it folded its wings as it landed on Paynes shoulder .

What a coincidence . I have also killed enough monsters .

Mi said as she called out Ignis and activated Flame Empress . At the same time, Payne unsheathed his sword .

That was the signal .

Heavy Fire!

Light of the Holy Blade!

Fire came from Mis side, while Payne let out a steam of light . The wasteland roared and thundered .

Ignis, Linked Flame!

Ray, Protection of the Holy Dragon .

Both of them applied the buffs and then charged forward . Mi had no intention of backing away, and she used Flair Accel to move .

Blue Flame! Explosive Flame!

Holy Blade of Exterminating Evil! Holy Light!

Every time they clashed, effects scattered violently, and the skills offset each other . And all of them were the kind of high-power skills that could one-shot a whole group .

When Payne swung his sword, Mi would dodge it and unleash her magic . However, they never hit Payne because he always blocked them and launched a counterattack .

Ray, Enlarge, Breath of the Holy Dragon .

Ignist! Enlarge, Undying Flame!

The breath that Ray unleashed and the flames from Ignis bounced between them . The ground was torn apart, but so far they seemed to be an even match .

I see . Thats a good monster .

Your dragon as well . However If youre still hiding your powers, then Ill incinerate you where you stand .

Mi looked like she wasnt going to hold back at all . She recovered her MP and then gave the order to Ignis .

Ignis, Flame of the Phoenix, Fire to my body .

The first skill cast a buff on Mi, and then Ignis transformed into a ball of fire . The fire surrounded Mi and began to spread out through the ground .

I see . This wont be easy then . Ray, Holy Protection .

Lets go! Inferno!

As Mi shouted, blazing flames were unleashed, and everything that was around Mi was burned away . It was blindingly bright, and yet the light that emitted from Payne was just as bright . They collided and exploded . The destruction on the surrounding forest and fields was immense, and a huge cloud of dust rose into the air .

When the dust began to settle, Mi stood there, unharmed and with just a little reduced HP . And there was Payne, his armor burnt .

Tsk . I was trying to force you to use Rays most powerful attackbut you got by with damage reduction and the power of the holy sword What a trickster you are .

Haha . Well, I cant give you that much information .

You werent even trying to defeat me from the beginning But dont assume that Ill return the favor, okay?

Yeah, sure . If you insist on continuing .

Payne held up his sword as if accepting her challenge .

Just as they were about to start round two, the sound of a tree being bent echoed behind them .

They detected that someone was approaching, and so they agreed on a ceasefire as they looked in that direction . They were greeted by a storm of lasers flying out from the forest .

What!? Ray!

Tsk . Time to go! Ignis!

Payne and Mi both jumped on their monsters and got off of the ground .

After a moment, what emerged from the forest as it tore down trees, was a giant crocodile that was over ten meters long . If there was one strange thing about it, it was that it was shooting lasers from its mouth .

Ive lost interest . Payne! We can continue this fight another time .

Yeah, I dont mind . Because I got to see Inferno .

And like that, the fight came to an end without a clear victor, due to an intruder .

As for Sally, she had witnessed the entire scene .

Ah . ThatsMaple

She saw that Maples icon was moving quickly on the map . And on closer inspection, the crocodile wasnt the one who was shooting the lasers . There was a ball of wool with a cannon stuck in its mouth .

More! More! Lets run around until the end!

She heard the familiar voice . Sally watched her go off into the distance with an exasperated expression .
